Overview

New Horizon for Bright Future
—Department of Human and Engineered Environmental Studies, envisioning the future beyond the horizon.

Using engineering and informatics as fundamental technologies, along with an understanding of human characteristics, this department conducts research that contributes to human activities by developing novel elemental technologies and system designs. Our research targets focus primarily on the engineered devices and man-made systems that make up our societal and living environment. Among the research themes considered are the development of assistive technologies that will enable people to live their lives in a secure manner, the realization of services that will ensure the safety of the social infrastructure that surrounds us, and the realization of a carbon neutral future for the global environment.

Our mission is to create frameworks that will lead to the realization of a safe and secure society under the motto of “understanding people, supporting people, and connecting people.”
